Canon PowerShot A540 prices and specs
The PowerShot A540 was produced on Feb 21, 2006 and is available in USA for 37.90
The PowerShot A540 belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot A540 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't capture photographs of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can shoot pictures at 6 megapixels max resolution. But for better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the model will make pictures with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it is smaller. And if you want to take pictures of the best quality pay attention to Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246).
The Canon PowerShot A540 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for taking action pictures of a satisfactory quality. The camera can even capture videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner can't change it. The lens provides 4x optical zoom.
